Due Thursday
Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words:
Select a child morbidity or mortality topic from the Child Morbidity and Mortality Presentation document.

Additional pre-approved topics include access to care, adolescent pregnancy, parental separation/divorce, single caregiver households, & poverty.
This is an excellent opportunity to investigate a topic of interest & one that you will likely address with numerous patients & families in your clinical practice. I recommend choosing a topic you find engaging & do not yet know much about. If you wish to proceed with a topic not listed, please send a private message for approval before beginning.
Discuss the following:
- Summarize the topic you selected, including your findings from the research.
- Define the relevance of the topic as it relates to children’s health and clinical NP practice.
- Discuss treatment options, including any involved risks and benefits.
- Discuss controversies surrounding the topic by responding to opposing viewpoints.
Note: Prepare to use your findings in the Child Morbidity and Mortality Presentation due in Wk 2.
